Fiction or non-fiction?
Several courses from The Great Courses (formerly "The Teaching Company") are as good as the best audiobook you can find in the field.
If you're doing courses, you may want to speed up the playback and shift down the pitch.
If you're doing anything else, you may also want to speed up the playback and shift down the pitch. To achieve that you may use a tool like Audacity (open source, many platforms, Effect > Change Tempo…) or SoundStretch. I use this to automate podcast shifting on my mac.

Non-fiction.
Go for biological anthropology, evolutionary psychology game theory, particle physics for non-physicists and general biology. All from TTC. Don't take economics from universities (UCSD) too many mentions to stuff in the blackboard. Dennett's kinds of minds Pinker's how the mind works Diamonds guns germs and steel and collapse. Maybe Gladwell outliers, but missing the graphs will be sad.
commas please. If those were on different lines in the markdown source, precede the lines with + - or * like so:
or put two spaces at the end of the line you want to be actually rendered as a <br/>
EDIT: I notice the formatter is still eating source whitespace in <pre> stuff (BUG)
Capital letters at the start of each sentence are also recommended.
